What is paint additives
Paint additives are auxiliary materials used in the formulation of coatings. They can enhance the performance of coatings and facilitate the formation of paint films. There are many types of coating additives, including drying agents, toughening agents, emulsifiers, thickeners, pigment dispersants, defoaming agents, leveling agents, anti-skinning agents, matting agents, light stabilizers, mold inhibitors, and antistatic agentsĀ etc.
Most of their names are based on their functional characteristics. Wetting agents, dispersants, emulsifiers, and defoamers are used to improve the coating production process. Antisettling agents, anti-skinning agents, preservatives, and freeze-thaw stabilizers are used to enhance the storage and transportation of coatings. Anti-sagging agents, leveling agents, anti-floating agents, defoamers, and thickeners are used to improve coating application performance and prevent film defects. UV absorbers, light stabilizers, flame retardants, antistatic agents, and mold inhibitors are used to enhance coating film performance and confer special properties.

- Leveling Agent
Leveling agents are divided into organic silicone leveling agents and non-organic silicone leveling agents. Organic silicone leveling agents are categorized as polyether-modified and alkylaryl-modified types. Non-organic silicone agents are divided into polyacrylate-based and fluorocarbon-modified polyacrylate-based types.

2. Defoamer
Defoaming agent is an additive used to eliminate foam. During the production and application of coatings, a significant amount of foam can be generated, which can subsequently impact product quality and the production process. To control and eliminate foam, a specific amount of defoaming agent is usually added during the production process.

5. Adhesion promoter
Adhesion promoters are those additives that, when added to coatings, can greatly enhance the bonding force of the coatings to the substrate. Due to the wide variety of coating resins and substrates, there are various types of adhesion promoters in actual application systems.

6. Substrate wetting agent
Substrate wetting agents, also known simply as wetting agents or wetting agents for short, are chemical additives used in various industries, such as coatings, paints, inks, and agriculture. Their primary purpose is to reduce the surface tension of a liquid, typically water, so that it can more effectively spread and adhere to a solid surface. This promotes better wetting of the substrate, allowing the liquid to cover the surface evenly rather than bead up or form droplets.
